R 2 represents H or halogen;

R 3 represents C 3-8 -cycloalkyl, C 3-8 -cycloalkenyl or phenyl, where the phenyl radical may additionally carry a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogen, C 1-6 -alkyl, C 1-6 -alkoxy, and CF 3 ;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts or stereoisomer thereof.

2. The compound of claim 1 , characterized in that

R 1 represents F or Cl;

R 2 represents H;

R 3 represents C 3-8 -cycloalkyl, C 3-8 -cycloalkenyl or phenyl, where the phenyl radical may additionally carry a substituent selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, n-butyl, i-butyl, t-butyl, methoxy, ethoxy, n-propoxy, i-propoxy, n-butyloxy, i-butyloxy, t-butyloxy, and CF 3 ;

or a pharmaceutically acceptable salts or stereoisomer thereof.

3. The compound of claim 1 , characterized in that

R 1 represents F or Cl;

R 2 represents H;

R 3 represents cyclohexyl, 1-cyclohexenyl or phenyl, where the phenyl radical may additionally carry a substituent from selected the group consisting of F, Cl, t-butyl, OMe, and CF 3 ;

4. A process for preparing compounds of the general formula (I),

characterized in that compounds of the formula (II)

wherein

L represents methyl

is reacted with a C 1-6 -alkyl 4-formylbenzoate in an organic solvent, if appropriate with heating and simultaneous or subsequent addition of a reducing agent, to give compounds of the formula (III)

where

L is as defined above and Q represents a C 1-6 -alkyl radical,

then the ether group of the compound of formula (III) is cleaved to produce the free hydroxyl group, and the amino group of the compound of formula (III) is subsequently reacted with a C 1-6 -alkyl ω-halovalerate in an organic solvent in the presence of a base with heating to give a compounds of the formula (IV)

wherein

Q is as defined above and Q′ represents a C 1-6 -alkyl radical,

then the hydroxyl group of the compound of formula (IV) is reacted with a compound of the formula IV-A in an organic solvent in the presence of a base with heating

wherein

R 1 represents halogen;

R 2 represents H or halogen;

R 3 represents C 3-8 -cycloalkyl, C 3-8 -cycloalkenyl or phenyl, where the phenyl radical may additionally carry a substituent selected from the group consisting of halogen, C 1-6 -alkyl, C 1-6 alkoxy, and CF 3 ; and

X′ represents halogen

to give compounds of the formula (V)

and the compounds of the formula (V) is then hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions to give the compounds of the formula (I).

5. A pharmaceutical composition, comprising at least one compound of the general formula (I) of claim 1 , plus a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

6. A method for treating angina pectoris, or an ischemia, comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a compound of claim 1 .
